    BAD MESSAGE

    ok first of all this is a bad song. and second if your child is a fan of the nbb band (which i hope there not because nobody is anymore) the nbb band is sending an awful message for them not to go to school! HORRIBLE! not apprprete for anyone who goes to school.

    stupid message

    I just got done trying to explain to my 5 year old son why is so important to go to school, and then I hear on TV these stupid little boys sing about not wanting to go to school? What happened?? Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those mothers that are always complaining and writing reviews, because at the end parents are responsible for what their kids watch, listen to, etc. But it's ridiculous that now I have to watch out for a "kids" channel promoting a "kids" band with bad messages for "kids". To Anathalia: I give you props for spending time with your daughter and show interest on what she likes, but: aren't you a little old to be listening to a 10 year boy band? Grow up lady! Go watch Spongebob like he rest of us... :)

    Horrible Song

    I personally think that this song is sending a bad message to all kids of all ages. Espeacially when its being played on childern based channels. The song is influencing children to hate school.

    I am still to listen to this song......

    However, I think just the name "the naked band brothers" should ring a bell for parents. Other that "I Don't Want to Go to School"....is that what we really want our children to listen too? This use to be a country that was on top of it era...a country that other nations would look up to...but now its seems to be falling behind! Too much time in front of a TV for our youth is creating a nation of illiterates..! God help us all!

    i enjoyed the naked brothers band music!

    To the person that write the first review; my daughter and i listen to all of the naked brothers songs and i think they are amazing; they played real good ; some of there songs are even touching. I have bought her from their first music cd's to the movie and magazines; and we always watch their shows on nickelodeon; so i think you need to buy their others singles and judge for yourself next time.

    This song was TERRIBLE!

    I agree with the no school part, but the song sucks. All of their songs suck. They're terrible!

    Best Ever!!!

    I love NBB! They rock. They started singing and playing together when they were just in preschool. They are my heros, they give give me an example to do my best and I will rise to the top like them. I love to sing and I'm really good at it so they inspire me to do my best!!!

    hopefully your kids arent THAT stupid...

    it really annoys me when stupid adults think your own kids are THAT stupid that they're gonna see this on TV and think to themselves "oh, those boys don't wanna go to school, so that means I dont have to go either!!" Newsflash: Kids don't even really listen to the lyrics. second: the song just says "I don't wanna go to school." it doesn't say "skip school, do drugs" or anything like that!! It kinda says what school is like from a kids perspective, about how you get made fun of, waking up early, annoying teachers, etc. I think it's absolutely FINE for kids. Yeah, these kids may not be the best song writers, but they're cute and nice, and they make kids happy!!

    I would rather have my kids listen to Katy Perry's album than this junk.

    I think this song sends a worse message to kids out there than any of the top 40 real music hits. These kids have zero talent and are Nickelodeon's answer to Hannah Montana. No parent should have a clean conscience while playing a song to their kids that discourages them from enjoying their education. There are people who would do anything to be able to go to school and I'm sick and tired of the media teaching the kids of America to take it for granted.

    I Think This Sends A Bad Message.

    I think this song is sending younger children a wrong message. The fact that they don't want to go to school because ''they don't want to be treated like a fool.'' They're making it seem like school is not a good place to be. Plus I don't know who told them they could sing.

    This is a bad song and bad messege

    Ok if the song was actually good I may defend it but just read the lyrics like "You can't deny us of our freedom" or " I don't ever want to see a teacher ever again" I think it would be better for a kid to hear a song filled with curse words. Because this is saying school is lame just go out and play insted of learn. When these kids get old and everybody forgets about them they are going to lose everything, don't let yours go with them

    stop the screaming

    I don't see what all the hype is over this song. It is horrible. Besides not being a good message, the guy screams the lyrics instead of singing. I hope he doesn't go to school, who needs people like that in class while most of us are trying to get educated.

    I don't like the song.......

    The song, if you ask me, isn't good, the lyrics are OK, but it's the way they sing it that makes it not so good. The Naked Brothers are very kid-friendly and appropriate, but in my opinion, they can't sing at all.
